The Age of Sail Heritage Center Museum is operated by the Greville Bay Shipbuilding Museum Society. The society is a charitable organization dedicated to the preservation and conservation of the lumbering and shipbuilding history of the Parrsborough Shore. This is done mainly by the collection of artifacts and archives relevant to the local history and its communities.  For almost 200 years the Parrsborough Shore was a major shipbuilding area from Tall ships to pleasure and fishing boats.Immerse yourself in the history of the area and the days of Shipbuilding. Of the over 700 sailing vessels built only memories remain. However, a few of the Wagstaff and Hatfield draggers are still in operation in the Maritimes. Along the shore at low tide small remnants of wharves and shipyards remain often overlooked by the undiscerning eye. The stores and schools that dotted the villages exist no more and with time even the memories fade. These once busy villages are now full of retirees and summer homes where once Sea Captains and their families, merchants and builders resided.  The main building of the museum was built in 1854 as a Methodist Church and has served as a sail loft, rifle range and community hall where movies and dances entertained the once youthful residents. Our exhibits showcase the life and history of these times.
